Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the creation of a new nomogram for assessing bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and detrusor underactivity (DU) in women with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), as existing models were based on male data and did not include DU.
- - A total of 183 women participated in the initial analysis, and findings were validated using a second cohort of 142 patients, with logistic regression identifying specific urodynamic parameters as predictors for DU and BOO.
- - The research successfully created and validated the Barco-Castillo nomogram, which can potentially provide better diagnostic insights for nonneurogenic women experiencing LUTS.
Purpose: The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is one of the most effective surgical treatments for male urinary incontinence regardless of its severity. Current knowledge comes from high-volume centers, but little is known about the performance of this surgery from community practices. This study aims to report contemporary AUS performance in a nationwide observational study in Colombia.
